Did the kid decide they didn't feel right and so are being encouraged (or supported) by their parents to think about it how they feel and who they want to be, or are the parents doing some kind of misguided attempt at openness about you don't have to be one or the other and it's maifesting itself in a potentially worrying way?Make Mercia Great Again!Comment

There are some sick people out there.
Even if there is a 50/50 chance of the child wanting to swap gender, there would not be such high numbers of children wanting to change sex from parents who promote the same.
The actual number of children wanting to change sex or act as the opposite sex is very small and many regret it when they reach adulthood."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostWhat a coincidence, every parent who publicises raising a gender-free-child, the child becomes pseudo opposite gender. It is blatantly obvious that the parents are influencing the child in that manner. The parents are using their kinds for their own agenda. That is blatantchild abuse.

Can't help but weigh in, but isn't a parent imposing this on their child as dangerous as forcing gender stereotypes?
I'm a very liberal guy, I've absolutely no problem with LBTQ+ and think that society has been awful in the past with it.
However, I've always believed it to be a condition - Gender Dysphoria , that people suffer from.
So , in that light, you can bring a child up with or without gender stereotypes, but they will either have , or not have Gender Dysphoria.
I think gender stereotypes intensify the pain a sufferer has - but trying to force "gender-freedom" on a child seems as psychologically dangerous, as forcing stereotypes on a GD sufferer?Comment

Originally posted by BlueSharp View PostIs there a difference to an 8-year-old? If they want to do something allow them to do it, wear a dress, play football or dance. What's important is the child is allowed to pick not the parents forcing the issue.
Parents like to think that they are open, yet in blind studies parents perpetuate stereotypes and provide a baby dressed in pink with dolls, pushing away the sports kit, with the baby dressed in blue enticed into playing with the sports kit and the doll removed and hidden away.
The sooner we stop perpetuating the prejudice our parents taught us the sooner we can say that children have formed their own identity, rather than being brainwashed.Comment
